Texas Standard for September 23, 2015

Austin Tice is alive. His parents are convinced of it. Their mission: To convince others and win his release from Syrian captors. Also: Only one in three federal judges are women. Sexism in the courts? You be the judge. Plus: Commentator W.F. Strong on bottled water, shiny cowboy pickups, and other signs of the apocalypse. If it’s the talk of Texas, it’s gotta be Texas Standard time.
